in reply to Process Management

I think it would be better to read something more UNIX specific if you want to learn how processes on UNIX work. I personally can recommend Stevens's Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment or Unix System Programming by Keith Haviland, Dina Gray, and Ben Salama.

    I second the recommendation of Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment, Second Edition. This is a great book to get if you want to code under a *nix system. It's also a great example of really, really good technical writing.
